“It seems like they haven’t transitioned back to in restaurant seating as the dining double for a staging room, but there were cups with chopsticks and utensils on each table”

Some noted
Mongolian chicken says “hot and spicy” on the menu, but my Norwegian grandpa who thinks ketchup is spicy could eat this.
Horrible takeout experience - food was inedible. Such a waste. Will not go back.
Food was barely edible. Vegetables used in spring rolls tasted old and rotten as did broccoli in orange chicken.

“Don’t sleep on this spot — seriously.”
Don’t sleep on this spot — seriously. This Chinese restaurant is a whole experience. The food? Always hot, fresh, and ridiculously flavorful. The sauces are unforgettable, the portions are generous, and the crab rangoons? So good we don’t even pretend to share — everyone orders their own. The staff is quick, kind, and on point every time. We’re here 4–5 times a month, and it never misses. Delicious, dependable, and reasonably priced — it’s easily in our top five.

Ordered delivery Mongolian Beef and they sent me a dish with a bunch if onions. It smelled nasty and it was nasty. I had to throw it in the trash. Never seen Mongolian beef like this before.

Best and I mean BEST egg rolls in the city. I've never had better orange chicken, everyone ive brought here agrees. Every dish ive ever had has been out of this world. The staff are amazing ...portions and prices are unbeatable. I almost forgot the handmade potstickers!!! Truly Delicious. Once you have En Lai , they will become your GO-TO Chinese place.
